He died trying to save the life of a drowning friend

In a little graveyard, far from the heart of the city where spring is eternal and where the sea perennially hums its monotonous tune, is a tombstone on which a marble Bible and two Scripture verses tell a hopeless little world of sinners the story of two men who died to save others - of Willson and his Lord: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13), and "God commented his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
